232 Nuts 



The lower branches only need be cut off, and after 

 the trees are eight or ten feet high, no pruning will 

 be necessary except to cut away bad limbs. 



English walnuts will bear within five or six years 

 after seed are planted, but trees that are transplanted 

 nearly always require three or four years after 

 transplanting, regardless of the true age of the 

 tree. Trees planted in groups bear earlier than 

 a single tree, as pollination is more likely to take 

 place early. 



The black walnut will produce finer nuts if it 

 stands near a pool or stream of water, as the roots 

 want a great deal of moisture. It usually requires 

 ten years from the planting of the seed before it 

 will bear nuts.
